TIE HOLDER.

Application filed November 28, 1921'. Serial No. 518,237.

T 0 all whom it may concern.

Be it known that 1, Isaac BERNSTEIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city and county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Tie Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a tie holder and particularly pertains to a form and support for neckties.

It is the principal object of the present invention to provide a simple form over which a necktie may be permanently disposed and by which form the tie may be neatly held in position relative to a turn over collar, said structure embodying means for adapting the holder for use with collars of various styles and heights. I

The present invention contemplates the use of a rigid back plate having a downwardly extending front member equipped with a yieldable and adjustable fastening device.

The invention is illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a view in elevation showing the holder in solid lines, and further indicating the collar and tie in dotted lines.

Fig. 2 is a view in horizontal section and elevation showing the position of the form relative to the front and back folds of a turnover collar.

Fig. 3 is a view in vertical section showing the adjustable feature of the form and the manner in which the collar button is en aged.

eferring more particularly to the drawings, 10 indicates a form preferably constructed of light gauge metal. This form has opposite wings 11 and 12. The wings extend rearwardly and upwardly and adapt themselves to the curved contour of a collar while fitting between the folds thereof. Secured midway the length of the form and extending downwardly therefrom is a prong 13. This prong is upturned at its lower end as indicated at 14 in Fig. 3. A eomple mentary prong member 15 extends parallel to the first member and terminates with av square end adjacent the upturned portion 14. A strip of yieldable material 16, such as elastic, may be disposed between the two prongs and clamped in position by a slip ring 17. The free end of this elastic strip is fitted with a ring member 18 adapted to slip over a collar button 19.

In operation of the present invention the combined form and holder is constructed shown in the drawing and a. tie may be tied thereover or permanently formed to produce a tailor-made tie. In any event it may be found convenient to secure the form to a rigid support by passing nails or hooks through the perforations 20. After this has been done the knot of the tie may be formed around the prongs 18 and 15, care being taken to allow the elastic member 16 to extend from between the folds of the knot.

When this some tension after the ring 18 has beenfastened over the button. This will hold the wings of the form firmly against the fold of the collar and will rigidly support the tie in its uppermost position.

It will thus be seen that the device here disclosed provides a simple and effective means for supporting and displaying a necktie and for holding it relative to a collar so that it will have the appearance of having been tied around the collar and not as being ready-made.

lVhile I have shown the preferred form of my invention, as now known to me, I. wish it understood that various changes in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.

Having thus described my invention,

what I claim and desire to secure by Letsecured to the end of said prong and fitted with a ring to be disposed over a collar button, and means for adjusting the length of said yieldable member.

2. A tie holder and form comprising a back plate having oppositely extending Wings to be disposed between the front and rear folds of a collar, a pair of parallel prongs extending downwardly from the center of said plate, means for clamping said 10 prongs together and a yieldable button engaging element secured at one. end between said prongs and adapted to be secured to a button by its opposite end.

ISAAC BERNSTEIN.
